I’m not certain what exactly is making you say that, but I’m inclined to agree. This fig takes advantage of modern advances in toymaking and is technically superior, however, somehow, it's less appealing than Mattel’s decade old effort.

For me it’s the over texturized clothes; something that has been a routine turnoff for me with almost all of his figures; beyond my druthers regarding scale. McFar seems to think textures for cloth (meant to be cotton/spandex/etc) is made more aesthetically pleasing and realistic by adding copious amounts of textile details, merely for the sake thereof. I suppose he assumes the viewer has Supes’ telescopic vision and can see the thread count of fabrics meant to appear smooth to the naked eye. Either that, or Two Face is rockin’ a tweed fit circa the 1900’s…and that's just the suit….get a load of that shirt! lol

I get the texturing of leather, armor, or kevlar, which generally looks good on the characters that sport those costumes. However, IMO, much of his gratuitous texture is simply there to provide the illusion of greater craftsmanship and interrupts the sleek nature of traditional comic book spandex.
